Our previous Three-Year Management Plan, which began in fiscal 2008 (the year ended March 31, 2009), represented our first step toward achieving our Centennial Vision. In addition to launching the Malaysia Project to lay a robust foundation for future growth and restructuring our cement business, we carried out some of our appropriate measures as initially planned to attain a measure of progress and success. Regrettably, however, we were unable to achieve the numerical targets established at the outset of the Plan. This was largely attributable to dramatic deterioration in market conditions and our business environment following the Lehman Brothers shock and intense polycrystalline silicon price competition. In our chemicals and cement businesses geared toward addressing demand in Japan, rising energy costs and appreciation in the value of the yen leave little or no hope of substantive growth. Against this backdrop, we 4 TOKUYAMA CORPORATION MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT are confronted by several issues that require immediate attention including the creation of new businesses, the nurturing of highly profitable businesses, and the establishment of a sales and marketing system that boasts strong proposal capabilities. With this in mind, fiscal 2011, ended March 2012, was positioned as a year in which the Tokuyama Group would take all preparatory steps to review its medium- to long-term growth strategies. In addition to reassessing our business strategies, we adopted a selection and concentration approach toward development projects, adhered strictly to a policy of rationalization in our production fields, and worked diligently to improve productivity. What are the key points to achieving the targets of the new Three-Year Management Plan? There are aspects of our Centennial Vision that perhaps place undue emphasis on our quest toward an ideal image. We therefore took steps to go back to the starting point and assess exactly what is required to achieve our targets. Drawing on our conclusions, we have put in place a new Three-Year Management Plan that focuses on three growth strategies. Moving forward, we will endeavor to establish a support structure that is capable of “strengthening strategically growing businesses,” “restructuring businesses in which we aim to improve profitability,” and “bolstering international competitiveness.” Among these overarching growth strategies, steadily carrying out our Malaysia Project is a key priority in strengthening strategically growing businesses. We will look carefully to identifying the key construction, operation and sales factors required for success as we work toward the start of the first phase of operation in June 2013 and the second phase in April 2014. Through these means, energies will be
